Press Release Summary: UCLA study shows many kids misdiagnosed with ADHD

Press Release Body: MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. - Ashley Tutors (www.ashleytutors.com)
launched in October 2007, offers one-on-one in-home academic tutoring to Washington,
D.C. area students in grades kindergarten through 12. While other tutoring centers
use their own curriculum and parents must travel to their location, Ashley Tutors
develops unique, individualized strategies to meet the needs of each of its students
in the comfort of their own home.
A recent UCLA study of Finnish adolescents showed that only about half of children
diagnosed with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), clearly exhibit the
cognitive defects commonly associated with the condition. The study also concluded
that the prevalence and symptoms of the disorder are similar in different
populations whether or not medicine was used.
Ashley Tutors works with all students to find the learning style that best suits
each student. While some students may appear to be affected by symptoms of ADHD,
the problem might actually be that they don't learn well in a traditional classroom
setting.
"The goal of Ashley Tutors is to develop a unique, individualized and very
interactive strategy to meet the needs of each student," said Josh Chernikoff, the
Ashley Tutors team member who personally interviews, investigates and selects each
individual tutor. "Our methods are highly interactive, and our tutors work with
your child to find out how they learn best."
Parents see the results from these individualized strategies. "Ashley Tutors has
taken the time to get to know my son's strengths and the things that motivate him,"
said Maria Cornelius, parent of a student at St. Jane Frances de Chantal in
Bethesda, Md. "His grades have improved and he continues to gain confidence. It
has been a real blessing."
"Ashley Tutors worked wonders with my child who is learning disabled," said a parent
of a Bethesda Chevy Chase High School student. "Our tutors used new individualized
strategies to build on my son's capabilities and boost his self-confidence."
